The lawmaker leading Alberta’s online gambling overhaul says the province has quickly attracted interest from multiple online sportsbook and casino operators, and is suggesting the new regulated market those companies will participate in could open before the start of next football season.
Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Minister Dale Nally says the number of firms that have already expressed interest in an iGaming license from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) is in the “double digits.”
The window to apply for registration with the AGLC officially opened just last week. The speedy applications, then, suggest operators are keen to launch in the Western Canadian province’s regulated market, which has been in the works for a few years.
